The woman behind the counter said, "Now don't be in a hurry to plant these outside just yet. Wait till the moon _______ (does something--wanes, waxes, full, can't remember what she said). That'll be after the 10th of May."

I never heard of planting according to the moon's position in the sky. Have you?

You know what they say- there's something to be said for those Old Wives! They have recently even found sound medical benefit to bloodletting.

My bother and his family live in Wurtsboro (west of Middletown), so I just peeked in to see what luck you all are having that my poor sister-in-law isn't.

I just ordered a calendar of lunar gardening from the website below. I haven't really had a chance to check it out yet, but my elderly neighbor always had fantastic gardens. He was a real stickler about moon phases.

You might be interested in having a look - I wonder if there is a moon cycle for squirrel control! LOL!

Nice to see this forum - hope I can pass on some advice to the SIL!

Read you later,
